\huge\mathbb\pink{ANSWER}

What is Cp and Cv ?

__________________

☑Cp is the specific heat at constant pressure .

☑Cv is the specific heat at constant volume

Now ,

What is specific heat ?

____________________

☑Amount of heat that required to raise the temperature by 1°C .

Why Cp is always greater than Cv?

________________________________

As Cp is amount of heat that required to raise the temperature by 1°C when heat is given at constant pressure.

So pressure is fixed in Cp but some work may be done . So heat may produce.

But ,

Cv is the amount of heat that required to raise the temperature by 1°C when heat is given at constant volume.

According to the equation

W = P∆V

if volume is constant then workdone is Zero . So no heat produced .

Result

______

So we get that Cp > Cv
